Michigan Longboarding!

[Randelpink03]

Sup yo's? yeah so good thing i wasnt supposed to ride this morning or anything, cause I just woke up... Very un-typical of me.

Im down, down for the count. No but down to ride. Freestyle/slopestyle/bigwillystyle you name it. I can ride up until Friday, Saturday morning I leave on vaca for 2 weeks, maybe even longer. So lets get to rippin!!! And send me some texts people, cause I dont follow these threads like I used to.

Remember, brush your teef

[Petary791]

Boom baby here's what I'm thinking, I'll text Ross too.

Monday: Slalom at like noon or later at Wabeek, and I'll start clearing the paths for rippage on Tuesday.
Tuesday: Wabeek at like 2:30 or whenever the kiddies get out of school.

Then lots of Clarkston seshing later in the week. Sound good?

[GrahamBewley]

Tuesday. Wabeek. I'll be there. Might even go a bit earlier than that to get warmed up, after all it is my first time at a REAL downhill (have you SEEN royal oak/berkley?) So I'll see you all there, whoever goes. I'll be the one falling all over the place on the sector 9, but I'm a quick learner. See you there!

[Petary791]

You'll be fine man. This was the first hill I ever DH'd on in Michigan too. It's a lot of fun and there's no traffic so yeah. I'll join you earlier too, what time you thinking?

Maybe like 2ish. That'll give me time to get up and drive out there and such.

anyone know of any sick places to carve/dh in the Grand Rapids, Grand Haven or Grandville area? and how ####ed would you be if you got caught boarding in a parking garage?

Search the forum for "grand haven". There is a somewhat informal event being put together in the near future. I think it talks about where the event starts and such, and it sounded pretty mellow hilly. Check it out. I've never been out there but I plan on attending the event and I'm looking forward to it.

i know of a few spots...i'm originally from hudsonville. where do you go to school? theres a newer housing development off of 8th Ave just south of 44th st...i think it might be called summerset or somthing like that. its good for 35 mph in a tuck and i haven't had any trouble with the residents ever. i just found the best run i've ever had the chance to hit so far down by bittersweet ski resort...bout 3/4-1 mile, mostly straight with a little S bend at peak speed that you could overshoot if you were going to fast. my best guess would be you could hit 40 in any decent tuck but its hard to tell....i hit it once and said screw walking back up again

[Doors]

Please dont go to hills that people ride and love and do extremly stupid things to ruin reputations...

I dont know if your on here but if so you know who you are


sorry for the neggativity but someone had to say it

I just graduated 2009 but i went to Unity Christian, and i know where that housing development is i live a few miles south of that i dont know why i never thought of it

Any sessions gonna happen on Friday 3/12/10? I'm not particular. Just want to skate with other people for a change.

[Snowboarderdude]

hey guys im in the hudsonville jenison area as well. we usually hit rosewood street. I think when the wind is right it might be close to a 35 mph hill. I havent done anything off of 8th ave. Another sweet place to check out is Johnson park, back in the scenic drive there are some pretty nice hills and sharp turns that are worth hitting.

[Petary791]

Honestly, if I run into anyone being a tool on our hills (yeah I said it) I will have no problem stomping your joint and dumping out your weed, and maybe even smashing your board. DO NOT COME TO OUR HILLS THAT WE HAVE WORKED OUR ASSES OFF TO GET SOME RESPECT ON AND FUCK IT UP. If you ruin the little bit of terrain we have around here I will have no problem ruining longboarding for you. I hate to be this way, but ask and you shall receive.

That being said, let's have some fun in 2010.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm just going to say this again because I'm not sure if I said this, but we'll be meeting at the CVS in Clarkston for some slalom and maybe some DH action tomorrow at 1 PM. Hit me up if you wanna join, feel free to dig up my phone number in this thread and call or text me.

We're hitting some 40 mph+ and gnarly tech stuff on Friday. You experienced at DH?

I hope someday I'll know who you guys are talking about.
*getting-on-the-bandwagon* THAT ****ER BETTER NOT SHOW HIS FACE ROUND HERE OR I'LL SMASH SOME NUTS WITH HIS OWN DECK, YEAH GET AT ME

but really though this is the year I get into it and I'd like to be able to hit some hills. don't mess it up for me.
looking forward to riding on Tuesday!

[Petary791]

Apparently some guys got MIP'd on Wabeek but we don't really know who they are yet. How hard is it to smoke in your car and then skate? Maybe I forgot what it's like to act like a middle schooler, who knows.

I'm stoked for Tuesday too! Wabeek should be a grand old time.

Well that just sucks. I hope their are no future concequences for other riders.
